MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

It's up 24% over the past year, but 8% below its 52-week high. That is clearly ahead of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+1%), over three months (+12%) and so far this year (+37%).

WATCH

Average long-term results. Multi-year returns are middling (+46% over three years and +4.1% over five), roughly average for the market.

WEAKNESSES

None flagged.

BOTTOM LINE

Fresh Momentum

Short-term returns are strong but the long track record is thin. Momentum is building — confirmation from longer horizons would strengthen the case.
